Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist



In the midst of the unfolding events, Wang Jian's faction finally rendezvoused with the group led by the Butterfly Spirit Queen.

Bixi Shuyan and Lady Zhuoran found themselves reunited, their eyes filled with a mixture of relief and determination.

Sensing the gravity of the situation, Lady Zhuoran leaned in closer to Bixi Shuyan, her voice hushed yet commanding.

"My dear daughter, listen closely. We cannot reveal anything about Wang Jian's involvement to Stella or her group," Lady Zhuoran whispered urgently.

"For now, we must focus on preparing ourselves for the imminent battle against the demons near the seal. Our mission is to rescue the beast comrades of the Butterfly Spirit Queen, and it is Wang Jian's direct orders."

Bixi Shuyan raised her brows in question, but she nodded solemnly. She had anticipated such a scenario when the order to retreat in the direction of the seal had been issued.

With determination burning in their eyes, the members of Wang Jian's faction readily accepted the mission. Their loyalty to their prince and their shared desire to protect these beasts fueled their resolve.

Meanwhile, Hong Meilin approached Stella, exuding warmth, and reassurance with her kind smile. She placed a comforting hand on Stella's shoulder, her voice gentle yet resolute.

"Fear not, Stella. We stand united, and we shall not falter in our mission to save your comrades," Hong Meilin assured her, her eyes reflecting unwavering determination.

Stella, the Butterfly Spirit Queen, felt a surge of gratitude welling up within her. She looked into Hong Meilin's eyes, her own gaze filled with appreciation.

"Thank you," Stella whispered, her voice laden with heartfelt gratitude. In that moment, she knew that she had found true allies, companions who would stand by her side in the face of adversity.

With unwavering determination, both Wang Jian's faction and Stella's group advanced toward the seal, where a brutal clash between demons and beasts was unfolding.

The sight that greeted them upon arrival was a harrowing one. The once proud and fierce beasts that had accompanied Ye Chen were now reduced to a mere handful.

The majority of them lay lifeless, their bodies bearing the gruesome scars inflicted by the demons. Only a small group of survivors remained, battered and barely clinging to life.

Amongst the chaos, Ye Chen stood amidst the horde of demons, unharmed by their attacks. His presence alone invoked a mix of shock, anger, and betrayal within Stella.

The truth, witnessed firsthand, ignited a fire of boiling anger within her eyes. She was certain that Ye Chen had betrayed her and was responsible for the imminent demise of her comrades.

"Charge, my friends! Unleash your fury upon these demons!" Stella's voice resonated with seething hatred, spurring her comrades into action.

Without hesitation, the beasts surged forward, engaging the demons in a fierce battle.

Wang Jian's faction and the church, rallying their subordinates, joined the fray, their determination unyielding.

Amidst the chaos, Ye Chen caught sight of Stella, his heart sinking with the weight of a misunderstood truth.

He clenched his fists, realizing the futility of explaining himself in the face of such misconceptions.

The situation had spiralled out of control, and the truth he sought to convey would be drowned amidst the chaos.

In truth, Ye Chen had taken the lives of some demons in an effort to prove his loyalty to the beasts, to demonstrate that he had not colluded with the enemy.

Yet, despite his desperate attempts, his actions had been met with disbelief and aggression.

The beasts, consumed by their fury, continued to assail him, leaving him with no choice but to defend himself. To do otherwise would have spelt his own demise.

Now, amidst the swirling battle, allies-turned-foes clashed.

Not only Stella but even Hong Meilin found herself astounded as she witnessed Ye Chen fighting alongside the demons.

A sense of disbelief washed over her, for she had held a favourable impression of Ye Chen due to his previous interactions with the church.

He had provided them with crucial resources and had even come to their aid when they faced the formidable Crimson Cult.

The bond between the church and Ye Chen had been so strong that they had staunchly defended him against the rumors and accusations that had spread like wildfire throughout the Empire, linking him to the demons.

Their unwavering support had been a testament to their belief in his integrity and loyalty.

A surge of anger coursed through Hong Meilin's veins as she reminisced about the pivotal moment when she had rescued Ye Chen from the clutches of Wang Jian, inadvertently incurring a debt of gratitude towards Wang Jian in the process.

In that moment, she couldn't help but entertain a regretful thought, questioning whether her intervention had been a mistake.

'Perhaps,' she pondered, 'letting fate take its course and allowing Ye Chen to face the consequences of his actions would have been the wiser choice.'

The weight of her decision now bore down on her, intensifying her anger towards Ye Chen.

The demons, encircled by a relentless onslaught of beasts and humans, found themselves trapped in a merciless dance of destruction.

The once formidable power of the demonic killing array had waned, leaving the demons defenceless against the combined might of their adversaries.

With each clash of weapons, a symphony of battle echoed through the air, punctuated by roars of triumph and cries of pain.

The battlefield became a swirling vortex of chaos and determination, as the forces of light and darkness clashed in a desperate struggle for survival.

The beasts, fueled by their ferocious loyalty to their fallen comrades, fought with an unwavering resolve.

Their primal instincts surged to the forefront, lending them an otherworldly strength as they tore through the demon ranks. Alongside them, the humans unleashed their martial prowess, their weapons glinting with deadly precision.

Ye Chen found himself encircled by a formidable assembly of beasts from Stella's group and human experts of Wang Jian's faction.

Their attacks came fast and furious, yet Ye Chen's movements were a mesmerizing display of agility and skill.

With an almost uncanny grace, he evaded their strikes with precision, his body seeming to flow like water.

But it wasn't just his nimbleness that allowed him to survive this onslaught. Ye Chen possessed a secret weapon—the Divine Bone Transformation Art.

Through this ancient cultivation technique, his body had undergone a profound metamorphosis.

His bones were fortified, his flesh hardened, rendering him nearly impervious to their attacks.

Each strike, though fierce, merely glanced off his sturdy defenses.

The awe-inspiring power of his body cultivation art had not only granted him an impenetrable defense but had also bestowed upon him unimaginable strength.

Even without tapping into his qi reserves, Ye Chen wielded a deadly might.

His strikes, fueled by raw physical power, inflicted devastating blows upon the Lord Realm beasts, and even the esteemed King Realm experts found themselves vulnerable to his unyielding assault.

While the Butterfly Spirit Queen, Lady Zhuoran, and the two bishops of the church, along with other formidable King Realm experts from Wang Jian's faction, engaged in a fierce battle against the King Realm demons, their combined might proved overwhelming.

With calculated strikes and coordinated tactics, they swiftly dispatched their demonic adversaries, their prowess shining like beacons of power on the battlefield.

Just as victory seemed within their grasp, a chilling laughter reverberated through the air, piercing the cacophony of combat. The warriors turned their gaze toward the source of the sound, their eyes widening in astonishment. It was none other than Tristan, soaring through the skies, his once-injured form now fully rejuvenated.

Tristan's presence sent a shiver down the spines of all who beheld him. His wounds, once grievous, had miraculously healed, and he exuded an aura of sinister strength. The newfound vitality that radiated from him was nothing short of remarkable.

A mix of surprise and wariness filled the hearts of the King Realm experts.

Tristan's sinister laughter reverberated, filling the air with a malevolent aura. "Did you truly believe you could vanquish me with such ease?" he sneered, his voice dripping with arrogance and malice. "Prepare yourselves, for the true might of darkness shall be unleashed upon you!"

His words lingered ominously, casting a heavy shroud of tension over the assembled warriors. Each of them felt the weight of his threat, a palpable unease settling in their hearts.

Xie Zhiwei mustered the courage to voice the question in everyone's mind. "Where is Wang Jian?" he inquired, his voice edged with concern. The members of Wang Jian's faction shared the same perplexed expressions, their thoughts drifting to their leader who had remained to confront this formidable demon. If Tristan was here... did it mean that Wang Jian had fallen in battle?

A derisive snort escaped Tristan's lips, as he dismissed their worry with a wicked grin. "...You mean the human who dared to challenge me? He displayed some skill, I'll admit, but rest assured, he now finds himself ensnared within a formidable array formation. He won't be escaping anytime soon."

His words hung in the air, stirring a mix of relief and uncertainty among the warriors. Though Wang Jian's fate remained uncertain, they took solace in the knowledge that their leader was resourceful and resilient.

However, the knowledge of his entrapment served as a reminder of the perils they faced and the urgency to find a way to rescue him.
